Workers are still on strike at the Taylor Regional Hospital surgical center construction site. The strike began on June 4 after contract negotiations stalled.

TRH CEO Jane Wheatley said there have been additional employees hired to perform the work of those who have gone on strike. As such, she says the tentative Oct. 8 opening date for the center shouldn’t have to be delayed.

A civil suit has been filed against a local nursing home, alleging it failed to supervise a former employee who has been charged with murdering her husband.

Kathleen Wise, 61, of 4203 Bengal Road in Campbellsville, was indicted last July by a Taylor County grand jury and charged with the first-degree murder of her husband, Joseph Kenneth Wise. If convicted, she faces as much as life in prison.She has formally pleaded not guilty to the crime, and the prosecution has said it will not seek the death penalty.
